You are missing [1] at the end of highest(high,len1). It should read:
IF currentbar >1 and price > Highest(High,Len1)[1]
This will now compare the current bar to the highest high of the last X bars
STARTING ONE BAR AGO. Otherwise (if the current high is now the highest
high), you are asking TS to check if the current high is > than the current
high!! A condition that will never be true!!
By the way, you are using "price" (the close) as the condition you are
checking for. Your condition will only show those cases where the CLOSE is
higher than last X bars high. But if the high goes higher than X bars high
(i.e. a breakout occurs) but closes lower ...then you will not see a plot.
If you meant this to happen, that's OK. Otherwise substitute the word
"high" for "price" in the statement.
